School officials dispute those contentions.
The claims are contained in legal papers filed by former Lake Central student wrestler Josh Daniels, who now is part of the Chesterton High School wrestling team. Daniels made the claims as part of his case seeking eligibility to continue competing in the state wrestling tournament following his move from Lake Central to Chesterton.
A legal motion alleges Daniels was physically slammed by the head wrestling coach and rendered unconscious for 30 to 60 seconds.
According to the legal filings, the mother of a fellow wrestler told an Indiana High School Athletic Association review committee on Jan. 14 she reported the matter to Lake Central Principal Sean Begley in August. At that time, she said she felt the school s response was very dismissive, the legal filings states.
VALPARAISO â A local judge cleared the way at the 11th hour Friday afternoon for a Chesterton High School wrestler to take part Saturday in the state wrestling tournament after a state education panel determined he was ineligible.
In keeping with a requirement of granting the temporary restraining order, Porter Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Clymer required the student, Josh Daniels or his father, Rick Daniels, to post a $2,500 bond to potentially cover legal costs depending on the outcome of the larger case.
Clymer also set a follow-up hearing for next Friday to hear the full case.
The TRO was sought by the Daniels family in response to a Thursday finding by a nine-member state case review panel that the younger Daniels was ineligible to compete Saturday because he transferred from Lake Central High School to Chesterton High School in violation of an Indiana High School Athletic Association rule prohibiting transfers for primarily athletic reasons.
